A HISTORY OF STUDENT SUCCESS

Our founders have led and taught in colleges and universities, built successful ed-tech companies, and championed education innovation in all of their work. They have been leaders in the movement for student access and success. They came together in 2011 to bring their expertise to bear on creating a new model for student success – one founded on data, insights, action and continuous learning. The team they built represents top-tier talent in education and data science.

Our Advisory Board

Transforming Advising

Austin Community College implemented Degree Map to transform advising and improve student completion. Read how adoption improved the advisor/student conversation, and gave students ownership of their degree pathways.

“Our Degree Map project shows that when students have more clarity and control of their degree path, they’re significantly more likely to make progress on their learning path and, best of all, cross the finish line and complete a certificate or degree. These are the kinds of outcomes all of our student success innovations are shooting for!”
